Ratings and reviews

Arguably the best writing and cartoons on the planet. There is a variety of opinion, political stance, subject matter, and all pieces are hugely insightful; many are also laugh-out-loud funny. There is a good balance of male and female writers too. I've loved it for decades!

Repeatedly and predictably crashes by Samsung android phone on any and every attempt to search content. Uninstalled.

The last refuge of freeish speech and rational thought in uk. We must look after it. Also full of fun and arts reviews and chess at the back. All reasonable people should have a subscription to the spectator. You don't have to agree with every word. Cherish public debate.
